Magnetic Hanger

ABSTRACT

The present invention discloses a magnetic hanger, which comprises: a magnetic body and a hanging member arranged in the magnetic body. The hanging member has a head. The magnetic body is made of a permanent magnet and has a recess and a through-hole. The through-hole has an opening to interconnect with the recess. The diameter of the opening is smaller than that of the head, and the diameter of the head is smaller than that of the recess. Thus, the hanging member can pass through the recess and the through-hole and then forms a hanging portion on the other side of the magnetic body. As the diameter of the opening is smaller than that of the head, the head is confined to one side of the opening. Thus, the hanging member is secured in the magnetic body for hanging articles.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a magnetic hanger used in daily living.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The hanging hook is a daily-living product, which is easy to install and used to hang miscellaneous articles. The conventional magnetic hanging hook has a metallic casing and a hook arranged in a hole in the lower part of the casing. The interior of the casing has a steel plate and a permanent magnet, which are fixed to the casing to form a magnetic seat of the hook. The conventional magnetic hanging hook can magnetically adhere to a ferromagnetic material, such as a steel frame of a dormitory bed, neither drilling holes nor dirtying the supporter. The conventional magnetic hanging hook is easy to install. However, it is structure-complicated and material-inefficient and still has room to improve.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One objective of the present invention is to provide a magnetic hanger, which is simple in structure, easy-to-install, convenient-to-use and securely-sticking.

To achieve the abovementioned objective, the present invention proposes a magnetic hanger, which comprises: a magnetic body and a hanging member arranged in the magnetic body. The hanging member has a head. The magnetic body is made of a permanent magnet and has a recess and a through-hole. The recess extends from the top of the magnetic body to the middle portion of the magnetic body. The bottom of the recess has an opening at the center thereof. The through-hole interconnects with the opening and extends from the opening to the bottom of the magnetic body. The diameter of the opening is smaller than that of the head, and the diameter of the head is smaller than that of the recess. Thus, the hanging member can pass through the recess and the through-hole. As the diameter of the opening is smaller than that of the head, the head is confined to one side of the opening. After the hanging member passes through the recess and the through-hole, the hanging member forms a hanging portion on the other side of the magnetic body. The variation of the diameter from the recess to the through-hole makes the head blocked by the rim of the opening and accommodated in the recess. The hanging portion, which is the extension of the hanging member in the outside of the magnetic body, is formed into a hook or a loop for hanging articles.

The present invention is simple in structure, easy-to-install, easy-to-use, and easy-to-popularize. Further, as the magnetic body is made of a permanent magnet, the present invention can firmly adhere to a ferromagnetic object and can bear a high load.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Refer to from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. The magnetic hanger of the present invention comprises: a magnetic body 2 and a hanging member 4. The hanging member 4 may be a slender pin 40, which will be bent by a machine after having been installed in the magnetic body 2. The hanging member 4 has a head 44 on the upper end of the pin 40, and the head 44 has a shape of a cap or a ball. The head 44 has a diameter greater than that of the pin 40. The magnetic body 2 is made of a permanent-magnet material, such as an NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron) alloy, an AlNiCo (Aluminum Nickel Cobalt) alloy, a ferrite permanent-magnet material, a rare-earth permanent-magnet material, or a bonded permanent-magnet material. The magnetic body 2 is a column having a recess 22 and a through-hole 20. The recess 22 is a columnar basin extending from the top of the magnetic body 2 to the middle portion of the magnetic body 2. The bottom of the recess 22 has an opening 24 at the center thereof. The through-hole 20 is a columnar hole, which interconnects with the opening 24 and extends from the opening 24 to the bottom of the magnetic body 2. The diameter of the through-hole 20 is greater than that of the pin 40. The diameter of the head 44 of the hanging member 4 is greater than that of the opening 24 and smaller than that of the recess 22. Thus, the hanging member 4 can pass through the recess 22 and the through-hole 20, and the head 44 is blocked by the rim of the opening 24 and accommodated by the recess 22.

After the hanging member 4 has been installed in the magnetic body 2, the hanging member 4 outside the magnetic body 2 is formed into a hanging portion 42 having a shape of a hook or loop (a second embodiment shown in FIG. 5) for hanging articles.

Refer to from FIG. 6 to FIG. 9 diagrams schematically showing a third embodiment and a fourth embodiment. In the third and fourth embodiments, the hanging member 4 is made of a flexible material, such as a plastic material or a rope. After passing through the recess 22 and through-hole 20, a portion of the hanging member 4 is formed into a head 46 having a diameter greater than that of the opening 24 with a retaining ring or via making a knot, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 respectively. Thus, the head 46 of the flexible hanging member 4 is secured in the recess 22, and a portion of the hanging member 4 hangs in the outside of the magnetic body 2 to form the hanging portion 42. In the present invention, the shape of the hanging portion 42 may be varied according to the requirement of the user. Usually, the hanging portion 42 is formed in to a hook or loop for hanging articles.

As the magnetic body 2 is made of a permanent-magnet material, the magnetic body 2 can adhere to the surface of a ferromagnetic object, such as a ferromagnetic lamp seat. Then, the hanging portion 42 can be used to hang articles. The weight that the magnetic hanger can bear depends on the size and material of the magnetic body 2.

The present invention has the following advantages: simple structure, easy installation, convenient usage, secure attachment and high bearing capacity.

The preferred embodiments described above are only to exemplify the present invention but not to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent modification or variation according to the spirit of the present invention is to be also included within the scope of the present invention, which is based on the claims stated below.
